Wedding out Republican clerks.

Commodore Harney, who in the absence of
Secretary Whitney construes the letter of
the latter, which has been interpreted in
some quarters to mean that the Republican
clerks will be retired, says 'It does not
mean that any rude disturbance of the pres
ent condition or any wholesale turning out
OF present employees is contemplated. II
means that length of service does not all
mean efficiency. 1t means that in the pro-
gress OF reform heads must fall, and that
nobody need be surprised if they are old
heads. There are men in whom length of
service produces only blue mold and obsti-
macy, and a presumption of superiority to
orders and discipline. 1t produces in some
men opposition to criticise and find fault
with new men, new methods or new ideas.
Il produces in them disposition to do any
thing rather than work; they begin to think
they cannot be dispensed with, and when
iiney iny suffer II the penalty of their own inefic-
lency they are astonished, and they point TO
their length of service to prove how great a
loss the department will sustain in parting
with them. In my opinion, the Secretary's
letter simply means that the old men are not
always the best, and al:declaration that the

ceeding day weakened the vessel in some
part. The rudder unshipped and was lost,
the large boat was swept away, both houses
were broken in and filled with water. The
bulwarks were stove in and the rails carried
away, and the pumps were worked every
half hour. Every effort to work the jury
rigging ana rudder failed to save the vessel
from destruction. After every possible eff
fort to do SO had been made and having been
seventeen days without rudder, and being
satisfied that she could not survive another
gale, Captain Harkness sighted the bark
America and asked to be taken off. So
rough was the wind and sea at that time
that the crew of the bark was unwilling to
make the trial but at the earnest
persuasion of their mate, Peter Pallio, who
took to the boat with them, and two trips
were made to the Hooper, Captain Harkness

PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Our citizens are at last being aroused
to the necessity of having a Public
Library and Reading room N our city
This need has long been felt from the
fact the city is composed largely Of young
men of intellect who would appreciate
the advantages of a comfortable and at
tractive Reading room and Library in
which to spend their leisure hours.
The Youth Christian Association of
which there are about one hundred mem
bers, with the assistance of our leading
citizens, who are always ready to respond
for the good of society, and public enter
prise, are making an earnest effort to
establish Library and Reading room in
this city, which will afford all the ad
vanisges of those in eastern cities, and
while this will be under the management
of the ~ c. A." it will be the Public
Library Of the city, open to all citizens
during the day and evenings. A sum, to
be paid in monthly installments is being
subscribed by the citizens, and a suitable
room in the business block will be secured
and a charter obtained as soon as suffi-
cient sum is subscribed to Insure it sue
cess. Rev. Boyd has already donated
two hundred volumes toward furnishing
the library, and it is to be hoped that
every citizen who is interested in the adj
vancement and prosperity of Dodge City,

TRUE MERIT.

We wish to say to every one interested
in clothes washing that the Tuttle comb
nation steam washer is an article of true
MERIT that it is, without question, the
only complete family washing machine
ever known. 1t clenses the finest lace OF
coarsest article of washing perfectly and
without injury. The machine is easily
worked-a child ten years old being cap
able of operating it, and will. do wash
ing in two hours that requires a hard
days labor at the wash tub. The steam
washer is universally known as the only
true washer. The Tuttle steam washer
is of late origin, and an improvement
over all others or it would not have been
granted patent. There has been large
territory disposed of on the merits of the
Tuttle washer. and while there is good
ly field remaining unsold we callenge any
one to produce any enterprise with like
amount of investments that will give an
enterprising man the same returns. Ex-
cellent arrangements made with county
agents. To prove our claims for the ma
chine, we would refer you to parties who
have used the Tuttle washer in this city
for nearly year. and who speak in high
est terms of praise for the same, or we
homes free of charge. Dodge City is our
headquarters for western Kansas, at the
grain and grocery store of j. w. Gibbs
& Co.. where we will be pleased to meet
parties wishing to interview us.
